Northern Parula
Northern Parula (Lake Mary) One commenter suggested that include background info for the photos in these gallery posts I'm creating so the posts are not just photos. I thought that was a good idea. Northern Parula are extremely common in Central Florida. In fact, during certain times of the year, they are our most common warbler. Right now there are dozens at Central Winds Park, several at Mead Gardens, but some of my best photos have come from my office parking lot and the parking lot of one of our doctors in Lake Mary. It's relatively easy to know if they're around, since their calls are very distinctive and readily heard. Even though they're common, they're so colorful that they are still one of my favorite warblers.
